waiting for the miracle to come
As the Americans go to the polls, this is what I look like: waiting, knowing that Obama must surely win, but fearing he won’t.
I suspect the world is full of people who are paralysed by a mixture of hope and sheer fright, as those long queues shuffle towards the polling booths.
I have no idea where this comes from, but it cracks me up in a very English way.

Well the good guys may win.
It depends how much is known about the hidden powers.
The hidden powers should realise that it’s back off time and that new economies are to be negotiated with in terms of certain recent disastrous decisions and silly mind games.
That’s what I’m thinking

Heh. I look like that too.
Glued to the teeve tomorrow.

David, what has got into you? Electing Obama is not going to make the world a better place. He is a politician, and a not very good one at that. He isn’t going to deflate the American economy like it needs, nor is he going to take American troops out of Iraq in any hurry. Nor will he enlarge the American forces in Afghanistan to counteract the Taliban. He has a big pile of shit on his plate from the worst President the US has had in more than a hundred years, and he is going to have to with it, and I suspect he is too full of his own self regard to be capable. he is a flaky thin shinned smarty from the Chicago democratic party, the same buggers who gave us Mayolr Daley. Rain water in the dams is far more important to us than who governs a former great power.

Yes, mate, many of us are cautiously optimistic that Obama will make the world a better place, and your pretence of smug certitude doesn’t do you any credit. We all want more water, but what the hell does that have to do with the US presidential election? Get a brain, moran.
